The generation of Perl objects and source from tc files.
The intended use for treecc is for people to write compilers,
or simple language processors, from scratch.  Treecc could
help with the writing of "grind" tools in Perl, for example.

To you perhaps.  Presumably there are existing tools for generating
Perl modules from .h files and such.  Those tools can be used to wrap
the C treecc output files in Perl if required by a particular project.

Treecc is a tool for the compiler-writer, not third parties.  If the
compiler writer had intended to allow their internal representation
to be accessed to third parties, they would have already done so.
